Chapter 548: Chapter 66: Forcing Through
Orbins was truly deserving of the name of a trans-era genius; it took him just over two Magic Times to obtain the Black Ore, decipher its special power field, and then amplify it to attract the Silver Thunderbolts.
As Orbins barely completed his work, spatial fluctuations occurred once again within the Secret Realm.
A massive clump-like entity, similar to the one that had previously pursued several Mages, slowly emerged from the void as if passing through an invisible door.
The Songxing Secret Sect arranged for such an entity to scout ahead for a reason, as it was clear that Anvis and the others had entered the Core Secret Realm ahead of them.
In this way, the first one to enter the Secret Realm could very likely encounter the most fierce ambush set up by Anvis and his group. And the chaos clumps, with their extremely high Magic Resistance, were the most suitable scouts.
What the other party did not expect, however, was that they would be greeted not by a variety of spell attacks, but by a terrifying, rule-breaking Silver Thunderbolt.
Because of the entry restrictions of the Radiant Secret Realm, no matter how high its Magic Resistance, it was still within the Eighth Rank’s scope.
When the Silver Thunderbolt struck its body, the clump of chaos instantly disintegrated, becoming minuscule particles of matter scattered without the slightest resistance.
This unexpected development startled the Priest who had been controlling the clump’s activity from the outside world and sensing the situation within the Secret Realm.
Had the danger of the Secret Realm, which held the Key of Apocalypse shown by the Divine, reached such an extent?!
He didn’t associate the thunderbolt with an ambush by Anvis and his people, but rather instinctively thought it was the Secret Realm’s spontaneous Magic defense against unidentified intruders.
Of course, he had anticipated facing such a dire situation.
After all, that was the former dwelling of a deity of another race. It was only natural that it possessed stronger defenses.
But after millions of years of erosion without a master to maintain it, even a god’s Domain would inevitably fall into decay.
At this time, one only needed to counter it with an equivalent amount of Divine Power to gain entry.
With this breaking strategy in mind, the Priest solemnly took out a nondescript Black Stone from his chest and dropped it into the center of the Altar surrounded by Alien God believers, where a cluster of faint Green Flames was burning out of thin air.
As the stone entered the fire, the flames shook violently, then suddenly rose into a colossal pillar of green fire. Within moments, the deity’s followers heeded his call and surged out from the flames.
Unlike the previous black clump hundreds of meters wide, this chaos clump was only a few dozen meters in size, and its body showed an almost ink-green color, burning with a thin layer of Green Flames.
It didn’t have that almost visibly terrifying contamination, but the aura contained in its body was much more dreadful, giving off a feeling akin to a Life suppression, making one hardly able to rise to thoughts of resistance.
Controlling the new Green Flame clump, the Priest did not hesitate to cast it into the transmission channel, where it was eradicated by the ferocious Silver Thunderbolt.
But this time, a violent consumption occurred between the Silver Thunderbolt and the Green Divine Power Flames on the clump, and although it eventually wiped out the clump, the Silver Thunderbolt itself was permanently depleted as well.
In the following Magic Time, the Priest continuously dispatched clumps containing a large amount of Divine Power to their deaths, at the same time wearing down the Silver Thunderbolts forming the foundation of the Secret Realm.
Maybe one or two wouldn’t show much difference, but as the Silver Thunderbolt’s power was consumed more and more, Anvis and the others also realized that something was amiss.
“Something is wrong; those strange things emitting green fires are consuming too much of the Silver Thunderbolt’s energy here.”
The first to notice the problem was Orbins, who had been monitoring the operation of the Thunder Drawing Array.
In his perception, the thunder available for guidance in the sky seemed to have thinned. At the same time, the feeling of ferocity in the storm clouds in the sky also began to weaken gradually.
“The thunder here is finite; it cannot regenerate. The enemy must be aware of this as well. According to this rate, the power of the thunder here can only sustain for about two more Magic Times at most.”
Anvis observed the remaining thunderclouds in the sky and reached the same conclusion.
There was not much the others could do about it. The enemy was determined to wear them down, and those newly emerged clusters of green flames were particularly troublesome to Anvis. For now, they had no choice but to continue drawing in the thunder and clashing head-on, doing everything possible to weaken the enemy.
This state of attrition lasted for about one Magic Time, and the storm clouds in the Core Secret Realm’s sky had almost completely dissipated, turning the once dense Silver Thunderbolt sparsely scattered now.
On the side of the Priests, the situation was not any better; the columns of ghostly green flames had nearly reverted to their initial state of small flames. The emerging clusters had shrunk from several tens of meters to just over ten meters in size.
At this moment, the Priest was also feeling somewhat numb; the depletion of Divine Power from this clash exceeded his prior expectations. Now, all he could do was grit his teeth and persist, hoping that the strength of the Silver Titan would soon be exhausted.
However, just as the Priest was faintly sensing the imminent depletion of the Secret Realm’s energy and that hope was within reach, a piece of news from the outside world darkened his expression completely.
The situation outside had changed! It was unknown who had leaked the news from the Radiant Secret Realm, and at this point, it was nearly universally known.
Ninth Rank Limit powerhouses were about to arrive, and the time left to him was now less than six Magic Times. But even the mere preparation of the ritual to summon the Divine required a significant amount of time.
With this development, his time became extremely urgent; there was no longer time to slowly grind down the enemy.
Before the Priest could carefully contemplate the impact of this news, another piece of similarly unwelcome news arrived.
The noble offspring who had originally been considered as sacrifices by him had suddenly gone mad for some reason, beginning to attack this place with all their might.
Although the Divine’s chosen ones were temporarily holding them back, the chosen ones were starting to sustain injuries under the relentless and costly assault by the adversaries.
Muttering a curse in some unintelligible language under his breath, the Priest’s gaze swept over all the Alien God believers present with a grim look. He raised the scepter in his hand and swung it fiercely, and a faint green flame instantly enveloped all the Alien God believers present.
“Everyone enter, we must secure the Key of Apocalypse at all costs… Huh?!”
Among the Alien God believers, who were in a state of extreme excitement and madness, four distinctly normal spiritual fluctuations were immediately exposed under the burning of the Divine Power Flames.
The great hall instantly fell into an eerie silence. The Alien God believers around hesitated for a moment, then their gazes converged on Landon and his colleagues, who had concealed their identities.
“Don’t just stand there in a daze! Run to that spatial passage!”
Facing numerous strange gazes, Landon and the others were also a bit flustered. Dark Crow had intensified his output and obliterated the ‘Divine Power’ of an alien nature from the four of them as soon as his disguise was uncovered.
Running outside might seem less dangerous, but it was a slow death. Dark Crow and the others were quite aware of the shrinking sky outside before they even entered.
Moreover, his helping Landon and others to disguise themselves and infiltrate here also aimed at the obelisk at the core of the Secret Realm—referred to as the ‘Key of Apocalypse’ by the Songxing Secret Sect Priest.
The opening of the Radiant Secret Realm this time, centered around the city ruins, was no coincidence but the result of interference from Divine Power from beyond their Domain.
After being reminded, the four of them used all their might to rush forward, and Yalanis even threw a silver Rune Stone towards the Priest.
The stone shattered in mid-air, releasing an ice bird imbued with Duke Carrot’s power, charging fiercely towards the Priest.
Faced with this Ninth Rank Level attack, the Priest did not dare to take it lightly and had to mobilize Divine Power for defense temporarily.
In the face of the four who were forcing their way into the Secret Realm, the Priest’s gaze flickered but did not stop them. Instead, he once again coated their bodies with a layer of Divine Power.
Unaware of the core Secret Realm’s situation, their bodies covered in Divine Power Flames, the four dashed into the portal.
